Wow! Have not blog for quite some time...
I am not abducted by aliens, just busy with my project. 2 projects are running full swing. On top of that, I am now on on a safety course and helping my friend to teach Taekwondo classes on Thursdays.
The Taekwondo class consist mostly of kids, aged around 7 to 13. As my friend concentrate her attention to the young teanagers, I had the opportunity to teach the litle ones...all in all about 6 of them.
Teaching the little ones reminded me when I was 11, when I first joined Taekwondo class. I was obese, so my Mom put me in the class. Anyway, I had fun and loved the class becasue I love Kungfu movies.
Today, I realised that these small kids have alot of potential in them. And they can actually understand the fine distinctions in the kicking techniques just as well as the Taekwondo members in NTU. The only difference is that they have shorter attention span and like to play around.
I also realised because of their short attention span, I have to give more activities and less explaination. No wonder last time my TKD Sir in KL and Singapore just keep giving commands and give very little explaintion. I must adjust to reduce the high C in me for this matter..Hahaha
To do this, I also need to trust that the little kids can do the kicks that I asked them to do. I experimented some complicated commads and moves today and to my surprise he little kids can follow! Only thing is that their moves are not as graceful as I want. Well, I guess just have to repeat it and let them practise.
At the end of the day, what I want to achieve is to help them to realise their potential in their physical abilitis so that they can be more confident of themselves, at the same time have fun leaning TKD.
I feel good and passionate to be ab to pass my skills and positive mindset to the little kids!

Busy Busy August
A busy August following the eventful week!
The project that I am entrustred to started full swing and I worked like a bee...relentlessly working from 8.00AM to 10.00PM on every weekdays! On top of that I had signed up for the Nationals Tournament for Taekwondo! What an experience!
For a long time, I had not in the shoes of a fighter in Taekwondo. The discipline of training and bond of friendships created from the trainings has been absent for years...It was really a pleasure to re-experience all these. Thank you Soo Ee, Jianfa, Jun Hong and Cai Ling. Thank you my lovely wife, who encouraged, supported and cheered for me, MUACKS!
It's also been an experience to be in shoes of player, trusting the coach who sits in a corner watching, observing, analysing and advising what's the best move to use. Thank you Jun Ming for the time and confidence in me. Altho we did not win the match, I am sure you gained wonderful experience as well. Hope I did not let you down.
Through the preparation and the tournament, I learnt alot about myself. Games are often a reflections of behavior...And I am not quite happy with my behavior. I learnt that even though I had improved myself, being more disciplined, less procastination in making decisions and taking action, I found I only put in 99% of my effort.
Come to look back, I really do have the skill, strength, knowledge, experience to win this tournament, yet I only won the 1st round. I lack of that 1% desire and commitment to win. Probably I went into the match without setting my intention right. I just wanted to enjoy the matches and to have fun training.
I even go through the tournament with only minor bruises on my insteps. Maybe kick too hard, *Hahaha*. Hopefully my opponents had recovered blocking those kicks...Well played boyz.
Well, back to the lesson...Lacking that 1% I learnt is like playing football. It took effort to have successfully overcome obstacles and tackles from the midfielders and defenders and I am about to kick the ball into the net to score, I just had fun dribbling and pass the ball back to the goalkeeper. Maybe I had fun but the end result is still NO score!
I am glad and grateful to have the metaphysical to learn from this situation and put in the extra 1% in my life. Hope by sharing, I have inspired you to put in 1 more percent in your life!
